why do you do what you do?

When you lay down on that bench press, and push that barbell up...ask why.


When you stand in front of a mirror doing bicep curls...ask why.


When you sit in that inner/outer thigh machine...ask why.


When you do a jumping/kipping pull up...ask why.


When you jump onto a bench or step up onto anything...ask why.


When you are trying to get your hammies loose by bending forward...ask why.


When you are doing a kettlebell swing...ask why.


When you are doing a lunge...ask why.


When you are doing a hurdlers stretch...ask why.


These are some questions to ask yourself when doing your workout.  Is there a reason?  If so, why?  Or better yet, why not?  There is always a reason NOT to do an exercise as there is always a reason to do one.  There should always be a goal for the workout.  Even if it is just to move, literally.  I decided the other day I didn't feel good enough to lift anything heavy, so I worked on some mobility drills I hadn't done in a while.  Felt good!

Think about what you are doing...that's all I ask.


GO!
